Hello mark,

 AI>> I tried to redirect the output to a file to import here but I have
 AI>> forgotten how to redirect STDERR. :)

 ml> there's several ways, really... i use one of two different methods with
 ml> some of our scripts... the easiest one is like this one we use when we
 ml> update sbbs from the repository...

 ml>   ./updatesbbs > /sbbs/updatesbbs_$(date +'%Y%m%d%H%M').log 2>&1

That's the one I needed, thanks. I must try to get those 4 characters into
usable memory space. :)

Here's the output I was trying to show yesterday.. :)
